Album · 2011 · 12 Songs. Such declarations can lead to head-scratching but can also result in a big party behind the glittery curtain, and that’s precisely where Norway’s Casiokids take us. This quartet makes charming and sweet electro-pop, with enough curveballs and oddities in the mix to keep it interesting (the Norwegian lyrics contribute to that aspect). The title track is an orchestral piece rife with flutes and accordions, which yield to rainforest sounds. The title translates as the revelation over the mountain, and the record is (wink, wink) a nod to Dr. Tarzan Monsoon and his adventure stories.

Casiokids' second album, Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen, begins with a stately, quietly majestic song that sounds like the pastoral opening theme to a film about dragon quests or fairy uprisings. The rest of the album is just as bright and fun, rollicking and rolling through 40 minutes of off-kilter dancefloor jams with only a few small pit stops for some atmosphere (like the short instrumental "Dr. Tarzan Monsoon" and the weepy ballad Aldri Ska Me Ha Det Gøy, which closes the album on a sad note). Although the album seems like silly fun on the surface, there is enough complexity to the interlocking synth lines and clattering rhythms to give the music some weight.
